Newspaper Page TextPolft County Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AND PUBIJSHER. Pabliihed Weekly t 11.50 per Year. Strictly in AdTance. DALLAS. OREOOS. Etnuiu 5, IM The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronizt Dallas jxople. i1 Chairman Baker has issued a call for a meeting of the Republican State Central Committee in Portland, Octo ber 12. He says the meeting is not for the purpose of promoting the con vention idea, but to bring the warring factions of the party together in a sort of love-feast The members of the State Committee are requested to invite representative Republicans and aspirants for state and district offices in their respective counties to attend and participate. Good idea, Brother Baker! Harmony is a mighty good thing especially in a political party. It is really to be regretted that the faction that dominated the Republican party in Oregon for so many years, and until the recent sad catastrophe within Its ranks, didn't hit on this "peace conference" idea before. It would have been a good thing for all of us, and might have been the means of keeping some of the best offices in the state out of the hands of our enemy, the Democrats. But it is better later than never, and, since Brother Baker has requested it, we will all be found in line plugging for peace and singing thatgood old hymn that has for its opening verse, "How eweet for brethren to agVee!"

The contents of the folder were re produced In last week's Observer, and 100 extra copies were called for and given out to subscribers before Saturday night. All of these papers were sent to people living In the eastern states. The folders will be distributed from the Polk county booth in Portland until the close of the ex position, and any copies remaining on nand at that time will probably be divided among the variouscommercial bodies of the county. It is expected that many requests for literature ad vertising Polk county will bo received within the next two years from people living in the eastern and middle states, and the now advertising folder will be given a wide distribution. Applos are not so plentiful in the local market as they were before the County Inspector served notice on the farmers and merchants to sell no more wormy fruit. The shortago in quantity, however, is more than made up by tho improvement in quality, and no difficulty is experienced in finding a sale for apples and pears that are free from disease or insect pests. Tho inspectors have evidently made up their minds to enforce the provisions of the now law to the letter, and scarcely a day passes that diseased fruit is not siezod and condemned in some county in tho state. This vigil ance on the part of the officers may work a hardship upon a few farmers this Fall, but it is tho general opinion that the law will prove a blessing in tho long run, in that it will force tho growers to give proper care and attention to their orchards and placo tho fruit industry on a profltublo basis. nop picking has commenced in u number of Polk county yards aud will become general by the last of the week. The vines uro freo from vermin, aud it Is expected that tho quality will be good. If fair weather prevails, the harvest will lust about ten days. The streets of Dallas have been crowded with pickers this week, and tho merchants have been buny soiling them supplies. Old Polk is a scone of great activity just at this season of tho year, and several hundred thousand dollars will bo paid out for labor in the next two weeks. that towns able to do so will be re- j auired to pay the cost of one library, i ... j $50, before being made a permanent i library station. By paying this sum, I a town secures a library of 60 volumes, i which it may keep six months and j then exchange it for a new library. ! In addition to the traveling library, j Dallas will have a permanent library, j the same to be under the control of j the board of directors appointed by; the Mayor. Mrs. George T. Orlicger, j assisted by Mrs. Dr. H. L. Toney and j Mrs. T. A. Riggs, have been soliciting j funds for the support of the free library and have met with excellent success. They have completed the canvass of the business district, and will now proceed to make a house-to-house visit through the residence por tion of the town. They will report the result of their work at the first meet ing of the directors, which will probably be called for some night next week. Everybody seems anxious to aid the free library movement, and, as a result of this generosity, the people of Dallas will have a plentiful supply of good reading matter when the library is opened next month. the- u.t.J ovr. &j lit. fierce s raiTiia llr.-r.;ti'r,.
